That looks like fairy washboard or haworthia tortuosa. I don’t think they make baby plants on their flower stalk like zebra plants do, even though they look similar. So it should be fine to pull it off.😊

Let me double check that then. By the way fairy washboard is Limifolia not tortuosa. Got them mixed up.🤪

Missed the fairy washboard part, totally agree with you now lol  
Thank you for the help!

I just saw this😊 Ok, now I’ll double check that limifolia (fairy washboard) doesn’t make babies on its flower stalk

#### Succulent❤️Mama antwortete am 2024-07-18

I don’t see any information about them doing that so I think you are good to remove it.😊

It’s very pretty❤️ I only have a zebra out of the two so I can’t compare them in person but I thought pictures next to each other would help us decide.😊

Hmmm yea I’d cut it off if it’s already flowered. It kinda looks like it’s turning a bit brownish anyway? Ciao, S
